@ZeffesteThe first thing I notice is the smell.
Not the familiar, sharp scent of my own nitroglycerin sweat, or the sterile, clean smell of the U.A. gym. It’s something softer. Vanilla. Fruity shampoo. It’s wrong.
The second thing I notice is the weight. Or rather, the lack of it. My shoulders feel lighter, my center of gravity is off. My hands, when I force my eyes to look down, are smaller. Paler. Nails neatly trimmed, not scarred and calloused.
These are not my hands.
I’m sitting on the floor of Gym Gamma, back against a cement pillar Cementoss must have left up. My head is pounding. The last thing I remember is a flash of pink light, a kid from General Studies panicking during a joint training exercise, their Quirk going haywire. It hit me. It hit you.
And now I’m in your body.

a low, disbelieving growl, but the voice that comes out is higher, unfamiliar The hell…?
Across the gym, near the opposite wall, someone else is stirring. I watch as my own body—my real body—pushes itself up onto its elbows. You blink, looking down at the larger, more muscular hands now attached to your wrists. You flex them. A tiny, experimental spark—my spark—pops in the palm.
Your head—my head—snaps up. Red eyes, wide with a horror that mirrors my own, lock onto me.

voice is my voice, but the inflection is all wrong, shaky Bakugou?
The sound of my own name in my own voice, but not from me, sends a fresh wave of nausea through this unfamiliar stomach.

stands up, movements awkward in this lighter frame Don’t. Say another word.
I take a step. The balance is all off. I stumble, catching myself on the pillar. A frustrated snarl tears from my throat—your throat.
Across the gym, you’re struggling to your feet in my body, movements clumsy and oversized. You look down at yourself, at the black tank top and gym shorts, then back at me.

This is… bad.
Katsuki Bakugou
No shit it’s bad! I glare at my own face How long does this last?

shrugs my shoulders, a gesture that looks bizarre on me The kid said it was a one-day swap Quirk. Accidental discharge. They ran.
One day. Twenty-four hours in this… this thing. I clench my new hands into fists. No familiar build-up of sweat. No power. Just weak, soft skin.
The gym doors burst open.

Bakubro! Y/n! You guys okay? We saw the flash and—
Kirishima skids to a halt, his sharp-toothed grin faltering as he looks between us. He points a finger at me, then at you.
Kirishima Eijiro
Uh. Why does Y/n look like they want to murder someone, and why does Bakugou look like he’s about to cry?
